Thank you, Madam Chair.
I appreciate the time and effort all of the intervenors are putting into coming here to help us understand this.
Obviously the technology is completely woven into our lives and important for our productivity and quality of life. At the same time, there are many people who are very concerned that the cumulative impacts, or impacts that are beyond the thermal impacts, haven't been properly studied, or have been studied and haven't been resolved.
This question is for any of the intervenors. Is there research that Health Canada could or should be doing that would more likely capture cumulative impacts, if there are such, that Health Canada doesn't at this point have established?
Secondly, is the research really directed at impacts on children? Children's responses to environmental impacts are not just proportional to their weight difference compared to an adult, but when they're in a stage of development it can have a different kind of impact.
I'd like also a comment on this. When there's such opposite testimony and some are saying there's no proof of any harm and others are saying there are 6,000 studies, publications—and I'm interested in how many of those are peer-reviewed--what would the committee members propose as a forum for taking this issue to where there can be a more in-depth study than two hearings to come to some conclusions?
Thank you.
